Market Street Stamps Sketch Challenge 4

Happy Wednesday! I hope everyone is having a great week. Today is my last day off, so I decided to make another card. I think my mojo may have returned, but I won't officially say it. For this card I decided to follow Market Street Stamps Sketch Challenge 4. I love challenges. It's a great way to push your creativity or help you out of a funk.

Card Details:
Size:A2
Layers: decrease by 1/4 inch.
Background: The stamp is " Vintage Music" by Market Street Stamp. I stamped the image whisper white by Stampin' up. Once the image was stamped I sponged " Chocolate Chip," "Close to Coca," and " Creamy Caramel," which are all by Stampin up. After that I misted the paper with water and crinkled it up. I then let the paper dry. Once it was all dried I hit the high points with "Close to Cocoa," " Chocolate Chip," and Tim Holtz distress ink "Tea Dye."

Supplies:
Paper: Stampin' Up, and Paper Trey Ink.
Ink: Stampin' up, Tim Holtz, and Memento.
Stamps: Market Street Stamps " Vintage Music," and " Hippie Chic."
Thread: Stampin' up. This thread was dyed using Tim Holtz distress ink " Tea Dye."
Other: Spellbinders Nestabilities " Labels Eight," Diamond Glaze(on the base of the card), Liquid pearls, and pop dots
Image colored with: Prisma colored pencils.

Thanks for stopping by. Have a great week!

Hey everyone!

Hey everyone! I know long time no see. I got really busy at work and then I went off to Poland for a while. Why Poland? I'm Polish and a proud one. My mom was born and raise in Warszawa (Warsaw). My aunt( mom's sis) was going over there for three weeks, so my mom told me I was going. LOl I really didn't have a choice. So I spent 8 days in the city that my mom grew up in. I will stay it's so much cleaner there. The people are also very nice. I got to see some of the sites with my aunt and Babci ( grandma). I wish I had a month to see everything, but my job only allows me to be off for one week. One day I hope to go with my mom. Here are some of my favorite pictures from my trip. I took a lot . Over 600 so this is a fraction.

Park across from my Babci's Apartment.
